My wife and I applied for immigration in Canada, we'll get our Landing Paper very soon. I was the principal applicant and my wife was the dependent. We are in India ATM. If we get divorced, does this affect my PR? Will both of us still have PR in Canada? Because we have not entered Canada as we are waiting for our Landing Paper and Passport stamp.

If you get divorced before landing, you need to update your file and likely get an updated COPR to land. Your wife won't be getting her PR since she will be no longer a dependent in your application.
